A. The relationship between the height and initial velocity is given in the equation,
                          d = ((Vi)² - (Vf)²) / 2g
Vf for this case is zero and g is equal to 32.2 ft/s². Substituting,
                            560 ft = (Vi)² / (2)(32.2)
The value of Vi is equal to 189.91 ft/s.
b. For the time, the equation is,
                            d = 0.5gt²
Substituting,
                           560 ft = 0.5(32.2)(t²)
The value of t is 5.90 s.

(a) The initial speed of the water is 190 ft/s

(b) It takes 5.90 s for the water to reach the top of the fountain

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Acceleration is rate of change of velocity.

\large {\boxed {a = \frac{v - u}{t} } }

\large {\boxed {d = \frac{v + u}{2}~t } }

<em>a = acceleration (m / s²)v = final velocity (m / s)</em>

<em>u = initial velocity (m / s)</em>

<em>t = time taken (s)</em>

<em>d = distance (m)</em>

Let us now tackle the problem!

<u>Given:</u>

h = 560 ft

g = 32.2 ft/s²

<u>Unknown:</u>

u = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

At the maximum height, the speed is 0 ft/s

<h2>Question a:</h2>

v^2 = u^2 - 2gh

0^2 = u^2 - 2 \times 32.2 \times 560

u^2 = 36064

u = \sqrt{36064}

\large {\boxed {u \approx 190 ~ ft/s} }

<h2>Question b:</h2>

v = u - gt

0 = \sqrt{36064} - 32.2t

t = \sqrt{36064} \div 32.2

\large {\boxed {t \approx 5.90 ~ s} }

Heat transfers energy from a hot object to a cold object. Both objects are isolated from their surroundings. The change in entro
aniked [119]

To develop this problem we will start from the definition of entropy as a function of total heat, temperature. This definition is mathematically described as

S = \frac{Q}{T}

Here,

Q = Total Heat

T = Temperature

The total change of entropy from a cold object to a hot object is given by the relationship,

\Delta S = \frac{Q}{T_{cold}}-\frac{Q}{T_{hot}}

From this relationship we can realize that the change in entropy by the second law of thermodynamics will be positive. Therefore the temperature in the hot body will be higher than that of the cold body, this implies that this term will be smaller than the first, and in other words it would imply that the magnitude of the entropy 'of the hot body' will always be less than the entropy 'cold body'

Change in entropy \Delta S_{hot} is smaller than \Delta S_{cold}

Therefore the correct answer is C. Will always have a smaller magnitude than the change in entropy of the cold object

Calculate the period of a spring if it has a mass of 5 kg and a spring constant of 6 N/m
otez555 [7]

Answer: The period of a spring if it has a mass of 5 kg and a spring constant of 6 N/m is 5.73 sec.

Explanation:

Given: Mass = 5 kg

Spring constant = 6 N/m

Formula used to calculate period is as follows.

T = 2 \pi \sqrt\frac{m}{k}

where,

T = period

m = mass

k = spring constant

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

T = 2 \pi \sqrt\frac{m}{k}\\= 2 \times 3.14 \times \sqrt\frac{5}{6}\\= 5.73 s

Thus, we can conclude that the period of a spring if it has a mass of 5 kg and a spring constant of 6 N/m is 5.73 sec.

An airplane is flying 340 km/hr at 12o east of north. the wind is blowing 40 km/hr at 34o south of east. what is the plane's act
seropon [69]
Define an x-y coordinate system such that
The positive x-axis = the eastern direction, with unit vector  \hat{i}.
The positive y-axis = the northern direction, with unit vector \hat{j}.

The airplane flies at 340 km/h at 12° east of north. Its velocity vector is
\vec{v}_{1} = 340(sin(15^{o})\hat{i} + cos(15^{o})\hat{j} ) = 88\hat{i} + 328.4\hat{j}

The wind blows at 40 km/h in the direction 34° south of east. Its velocity vector is
\vec{v}_{2} =40(cos(34^{o})\hat{i} - sin(24^{o})]\hat{j}) = 33.1615\hat{i} -22.3677\hat{j})

The plane's actual velocity is the vector sum of the two velocities. It is
\vec{v}=\vec{v}_{1}+\vec{v}_{2} = 121.1615\hat{i}+306.0473\hat{j}

The magnitude of the actual velocity is
v = √(121.1615² + 306.0473²) = 329.158 km/h

The angle that the velocity makes north of east is
tan⁻¹ (306.04733/121.1615) = 21.6°

Answer:
The actual velocity is 329.2 km/h at 21.6° north of east.
